Planning a safe future career
The Internet will have a big effect in the next few years. People already choose to do a lot of their shopping online, so there won’t be as many shops, and there won’t be many jobs for shop assistants. Some postmen and other post office staff might lose their jobs, because people will send everything by email.
So which jobs are safe? Firstly, computer programmers – a hundred years ago there were none, but now there are lots of them and there will be even more in future because almost all jobs will need computers. Secondly, environmental protection officers - there will be a lot of new “green” jobs as environmental problems get more serious. Carers - people will live longer and we’ll need carers to look after us in old age. Online education manager - many students will take online courses. There will be jobs for people to create and organize the courses. And of course, we will still need actors and musicians to entertain us, lawyers to argue and politicians to make the big decisions.
7. Which jobs might disappear in the next few years?
8. Why will politicians become more important in the future?
Choose the sentence that has the similar meaning with the given one.
9. After we had eaten lunch, we went to Non Nuoc marble village to buy some souvenirs.
10. It can’t be denied that education is the first step toward a student's future success.
